COMBINATION CARTON AND GAUZE CAP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 24, 1906.

Application filed May 31, 1905. Serial No. 263,017.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES R. LINDSAY, Jr., a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State ofIllinois, have invented a new and useful Improved Combination Carton andGauze Cap, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates particularly to combination cartons and gauze capsada ted for the shipment of mantles and the'app ication thereof toincandescent gas-lamps.

My primary object is to provide a construction of this character whichmay be cheaply manufactured and which is thoroughly adapted to itspurpose of preserving the mantle during the transportation and while itis being applied to the gas-lamp.

The invention is illustrated in its preferred embodiment in theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a brokenelevational view of my improved combination carton and gauze cap with amantle supported within the carton; Fig. 2, a perspective view of apaster employed in connection with the carton, and Fig. 3 a sectionalview of the construction shown in Fig. 1.

A represents a pasteboard tube having a closed upper end a; B, a gauzecap provided externally at its lower end with an upturned flange b,which receives the lower end of the tube A; C, a mantle-standard carriedby the gauze cap B; C, a mantle mounted on the standard C, and D apaster applied to the lower end of the box A and concealing the gauzecap.

In general construction the gauze cap comprises an open-endedcylindrical member I),

equipped at its upper end with a gauze 11 provided with the usual socketfor support ing the mantle-standard. The lower end of the cylinder 1)bears an outwardly-turned flange 6 which supports the upturned flange b.The paster D is shown as comprising a disk (1, provided with projections66, which embrace the sides of the box A and are cemerited thereto.Preferably the lower end ofthe box fits within the flange b of the gauzecap; but it will be within the spirit of my invention to fit the lowerend of the box over the flange, as is obvious.

Changes in minor details of construction within the spirit of myinvention are contemplated. Hence no undue limitation should beunderstood from the foregoing detailed description.

What I regard as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of a gauze cap equipped with mantle-supporting meansand having its base formed with an external upturned flange, and anopen-ended carton having telescopic connection with said flange, for thepurpose set forth.

2. The combination of a gauze cap equipped with mantle-supporting meansand having its base formed with an external upturned flange, an openended carton having telescopic connection with said flange, and a pasterapplied to the lower end of the carton and inclosing said gauze cap, forthe purpose set forth.
